Puget Sound Revels 2017-18 Season

Mirth and Merriment all year long!

Puget Sound Revels builds community through the arts using traditional music, dance, and drama drawn from many cultures. We offer theater productions, seasonal celebrations, and educational opportunities for all ages.

This year The Christmas Revels finds us in Galicia (Northern Spain) on the Camino de Santiago – the pilgrimage path established in the 9th century that runs from the Pyrenees to the cathedral town of Santiago de Compostela. Traveled by countless pilgrims over centuries, the camino has inspired tunes and songs both sacred and secular. As always, it will be beautiful, funny, a feast for the eyes and ears, a celebration for family and friends, the perfect December gathering.

Advance ticket sales for Revels donors is October 11 - 19. October 23 tickets are available to everyone. Performances are: December 16 at 2:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.; December 17 at 1:00 p.m. & 5:30 p.m.; December 19 at 7:30 p.m.; and December 20 at 7:30 p.m.
